On the Role of Context in Reading Time Prediction (2024.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | a new perspective on how readers integrate context during reading time prediction is presented . a recent study shows that the proportion of variance in reading times explained by context is smaller when context is represented by the orthogonalized predictor. |
| Approach: | They propose a technique where they project surprisal onto the orthogonal complement of frequency. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method shows that the proportion of variance in reading times explained by context is smaller when context is represented by the orthogonalized predictor. |
Generalized Measures of Anticipation and Responsivity in Online Language Processing (2024.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | a generalization of classical information-theoretic measures of predictive uncertainty is proposed for online language processing . entropy and surprisal are two commonly deployed information- theoretic measure of predictive uncertainties in sentence processing based on the probability distribution of upcoming sequences of linguistic units . |
| Approach: | They propose a generalization of classical information-theoretic measures of predictive uncertainty in online language processing based on simulations of incremental linguistic contexts. |
| Outcome: | The proposed generalization of classical measures of predictive uncertainty in online language processing yields a positive effect on reading times and cloze completion probability. |
